Chapter 149: Some Rejoice, Some Sorrow
When Qin Miao played CSGO, he encountered cheats, especially those in the official matchmaking.
It was okay to come across those who didn't try to hide it; Qin Miao just took it as a joke.
But when he met those who would act for a while and only show their Dou Sect expert skills when they couldn't win, Qin Miao's expression then was identical to now.
A single "Huh?" was enough to fully express all the complex emotions in Qin Miao's heart: confusion, puzzlement, amazement, bewilderment, doubt, and so on.
When did this happen?
How did I end up winning the championship?
Aren't there four races left?
How did the championship come early?
Exactly, there are only four races left this season.
But even if someone takes all the points from these four races, the total points they can get is only 184 points.
Currently, Zhou Guanyu, who is second on the F2 leaderboard, has a total of only 125 points, even if Zhou Guanyu crushes Qin Miao in the subsequent races, like Qin Miao did in the first half of the season, taking all points in every race.
Zhou Guanyu's final total can only reach 309 points, which is still 23 points short of Qin Miao's current 332 points.
So, even if Qin Miao doesn't participate in the next four races, he can still be this year's F2 world champion.
"That's right, you won the F2 world championship four races early." The host said this while FIA officials put a unique sign in front of Qin Miao's car.
It shined alongside the sign representing Qin Miao's first-place finish.
The sign had "2020 Formula Two Champion" written in golden letters on a black background.
Next to this line were two golden wheat circles.
Unusually, many people came to the barrier at this moment.
Usually, after F2 races finish, there are still many vacant spots at the barrier.
But after Qin Miao won the championship, not only were the staff members of Qin Miao's racing team cheering with signs bearing Qin Miao's name and the national flag at the barrier, but there were also journalists with long and short lenses taking photos.
Even Toto personally brought tech director Ellison over to congratulate Qin Miao on his victory.
Turning his head to look at the people, some friendly and some mean, clapping to celebrate him, Qin Miao swallowed hard, feeling a bit at a loss.
After realizing what had specifically happened, there wasn't much joy for Qin Miao, more of a bewilderment.
Because all of this seemed to happen a bit too suddenly for him.
He honestly hadn't been paying much attention to his points issue lately. At the start of the F2 season, Qin Miao would occasionally check his points situation, but as time went on, seeing his points lead show massively and exaggeratedly on the leaderboard each time, Qin Miao lost the desire to keep watching.
That's why Qin Miao is bewildered now.
After letting Qin Miao, who obviously hadn't prepared for this, digest the news a bit, the host began asking: "You participated in Formula Two for the first year and secured the championship four races early with absolute strength, showing absolute dominance in the F2 field. Now that the championship is yours, do you feel it's too easy?"
Having gone through countless post-race interviews, Qin Miao shouldn't feel nervous because of the host's question, but he clearly felt his palms starting to sweat.
Looking back, he found himself unknowingly reached a position he couldn't have imagined a year ago, and it all seemed dreamlike and unreal.
After obtaining the system, Qin Miao's idea was simple: race in GT3, at most go for the Le Mans 24 Hours, and make some achievements in this field, or become a standout in GT3 racing.
That was his initial plan for his future after receiving the system.
But somehow, Ferrari noticed him, realizing he might be able to race F2 cars. Already deeply passionate about racing, Qin Miao naturally had no reason to refuse driving Formula cars, so he agreed to Ferrari's offer, becoming part of Ferrari's youth training.
When entering F2, Qin Miao was rather nervous and excited.
However, after the second race, Qin Miao found that other F2 drivers weren't putting much pressure on him, so he couldn't help but relax a bit.
This environment felt too comfortable for Qin Miao, making it hard for him to get motivated; slacking off and settling was quite normal.
But honestly, for F2 to be such a competitive place and still become Qin Miao's comfort zone is quite remarkable.
Yet it also from another angle demonstrates Qin Miao's personal strength to those who believe in him.
Toto doesn't suppress the paddock's public opinion partly due to this consideration, wanting to use the paddock's opinion to make Qin Miao less laid-back and a bit more intense.
But Toto never expected that lately, Qin Miao had stopped playing with his phone and was just playing games on his computer after training.
Public opinion? If I don't see it, it doesn't exist!
Returning to the host's question, Qin Miao adjusted his hold on the microphone and said, "I'm very honored, never thought this day would come so quickly. Honestly, I haven't even prepared an acceptance speech.
Winning the F2 championship, I mainly want to thank the support from my team and crew members; without them tuning and maintaining the car, I simply wouldn't have the chance to stand on the podium today."
